4aUiZxrsXV-cy1HvZHsajwguMrElMrJyQciGhjxC-g3tWgkkhLOsMePtY3jvMdYBleHZ6dLc> A
book review in the current issue of the American-Canadian Genealogist (Vol.
38, Issue #133, 3rd Quarter 2012), written by Janine LaFleur Penfield,
describes the first volume in genealogist Gail Morin's series First Métis
Families as "an exhaustively documented work, taking the reader through the
complete genealogies of 56 families in a register style presentation up to
three generations. While several of the families are from present-day
Quebec, areas such as Kaskaskia, Michillimakinac, and Illinois country are
also covered." The review resumes, "Any descendant of the 56 families will
want to own a copy of this book . . . As a descendant of Jean Durand, I
found Volume I invaluable and anxiously await Volume V on Durands."

The term Métis originally referred to the offspring produced from the
intermarriage of early French fur traders with Canadian Native Americans.
Later, there were also Anglo Métis (known as "Countryborn")--children of
Scottish, English, and other European fathers and indigenous mothers. First
Métis Families of Quebec, 1622-1748. Volume 1: Fifty-Six Families, by Gail
Morin, the first in a purported six-volume series, traces the descendants of
the 56 original Métis families for up to three generations. Future volumes
will concentrate on subsequent generations of those Métis families whose
progeny settled in western North America in the 20th century.

The following paragraphs, excerpted from the Introduction of Ms. Morin's
book, describe the marriages and family patterns of a few of her Métis
families:
The first Frenchman known to have sired Métis offspring was Jean Nicolet de
Belleborne. He arrived in Quebec in 1618 and was employed as a clerk and
trained as an interpreter by the Company of Merchants, the fur trading
monopoly owned by French noblemen. He ran a Hudson Bay Company store and
traded with the Lake Nipissing (Ontario) people for several years. He was to
live with the local native people and learn their customs and to explore
area. His daughter Madeleine or Euphrosine Nicolet was born about 1628 of an
informal or country marriage to a Nipissing woman. Jean Nicolet returned to
the Company in Quebec in 1633 with his daughter Madeleine. Madeleine married
Jean Leblanc in 1643 and Elie Dussault dit Lafleur in 1663. Both marriages
resulted in generations of descendants in Canada and the United States that
exist today. Jean Nicolet married Marguerite Couillard in 1637 in Quebec,
daughter of a Guillaume Couillard and Guillemette Hebert and granddaughter
of Canada's first farmer Louis Hebert. Jean and Guillemette had two
children. Their daughter Marguerite Nicolet married Jean-Baptiste Legardeur
and had twenty children. None of the non-Métis families will be followed.

Jean Nicolet's pattern of marriage, for safety and convenience and later
marrying a settler's daughter, continued in the fur trade to the 19th
century. Many marriages of the country were also legitimized with the
arrival of the first missionaries Martin Prevost (or Provost) arrived in
Quebec before 1639. He was a settler and farmed near Beauport, Quebec. He
married on 3 November 1644 at Quebec. Prevost's spouse, Marie-Olivier, was
the daughter of Roch Manithabewich, a Huron Indian, and the adopted daughter
of Olivier Letardif. Together they had eight children whose descendants can
be traced to the 21st century. Martin Prevost remained in Quebec.
Marie-Olivier died on 10 September 1665 when her youngest child was only
three months old. Prevost married Marie d'Abancourt two months later. They
had no known children. Marie d'Abancourt was the widow of both Jean Jolliet
and Godfroy Guillot dit Lavallee. She died between 1678 and 1681. Martin
remained unmarried until his death in 1691 at Beauport (Quebec). His
surviving children and grandchildren were all living near Beauport. They
were farmers, laborers, and merchants and appear to have assimilated into
the non-Indian culture. By the seventh generation, the Prevost descendants
were living in the Oregon Territory and had once again married mixed blood
wives.

Pierre Couc dit Lafleur married by contract, on 16 April 1657 at
Trois-Rivieres, Marie Mitequamigoukoue or Meteomigouk, an Algonquin Indian
and possibly the widow of Assababich and mother of two young children,
Catherine and Pierre. Pierre Couc and Marie had eight children, only one of
whom died childless. Pierre was a soldier in the M. Froment regiment, but he
may have entered the fur trade also. His two sons Louis and Jean Baptiste
married Indian woman. His granddaughter Elizabeth Couc (daughter of Louis
Couc dit Montour and Madeleine Socokie) and Elizabeth's grandson Nicholas
Montour (a partner in the North West Company who married Susanne
Humphreville) both have biographical sketches in the "Dictionary of Canadian
Biographies," Volumes 3 and 5. Pierre Couc's descendants lived in Quebec,
Pennsylvania, Virginia, Illinois, and Michigan. More is known about Nicholas
Montour's son Nicholas, who was a clerk for the North West Company, and will
be followed in a future volume.

In the 120 years following Martin Prevost and Marie Olivier's 1628 marriage,
only 56 Métis marriages were officially recorded. In some cases they were
the second or third marriage for the bride or groom and resulted in no
descendants. There are probably many unrecorded Métis or mixed blood
families who are lost for now.

Because of my interests in the Métis families employed in the Western fur
trade, and the search for free or cheap land by farmers in Canada and the
United States, I have been able to connect many of the first Métis families
of Quebec. Volume I in the series covers the 56 original Métis families,
tracing their descendants for three generations. Future volumes will include
only the families with generations found in the West in the 20th century.

For many U.S. genealogy wayfarers, their journey includes a stop in Canada.
This is true for persons with and without French-Canadian roots. For
example, during the colonial wars for control of North America, Canadians
such as the Acadian French of Nova Scotia were banished and compelled to
take up new homes in places like New England and Louisiana. Conversely,
following England's defeat in the American Revolution, thousands of people
who were still loyal to the Crown fled to Canada, sometimes leaving patriot
family members behind. During the 1840s and 1850s, many Famine-era Irish
emigrants arrived at the port of St. John, New Brunswick, because the fare
was cheaper. Some of these same people ultimately joined family members in
the U.S. once they had accumulated the necessary funds. Not surprisingly,
living along the 3,000-mile border that separates the U.S. from its northern
neighbor are innumerable families who share common ancestries as a result of
their desire for greater economic, religious, or political freedom--in one
country or the other.

If you are currently researching your Canadian ancestors, we have a
wonderful array of resources available. The titles range from Angus Baxter's
excellent how-to book, In Search of Your Canadian Roots, to several esteemed
collections of Nova Scotia immigration records compiled by Terrence M.
Punch, to Denise Larson's groundbreaking 2008 work on the founding families
of Quebec. Scroll down to see a sampling of our Canadian publications, AND

For both beginners and experienced researchers alike, this third edition of
Angus Baxter's noted guidebook gives common-sense tips on where to begin
your research, how to work backward in time from the known to the unknown,
how to test your facts and avoid common mistakes, and, ultimately, how to
create a family tree. It discusses the great migrations of Scots, Irish,
English, Germans, Huguenots, Ukrainians, and Jews to Canada; describes the
records of the national archives in Ottawa; summarizes the holdings of the
LDS Church relating to Canada; and explores the vast nationwide record
sources such as census records and church registers. It also provides a
province-by-province survey of genealogical sources--in effect, a
step-by-step guide to the records and record repositories in each of the 10
provinces and the Yukon and Northwest territories.

IV of Erin's Sons: Irish Arrivals in Atlantic Canada brings the coverage of
this groundbreaking work forward to 1863, the mid-point of the American
Civil War. By that year, Irish immigration into Atlantic Canada had
diminished almost to a trickle, as ever bigger and faster steamships allowed
immigrants to set out for the more distant factory towns of New England and
various points in the American West.

This final volume of Some Early Scots in Maritime Canada identifies
thousands of Scots who immigrated to Maritime Canada in the years between
the 1770s and the 1870s--most of them located by the author in a variety of
obscure and out-of-the-way records. From shipping records to passenger
lists, from land petitions to census records, then from newspaper columns,
vital records, church registers, and a host of fugitive sources, the sources
utilized provide a rich trove of genealogical data. This volume differs from
the previous volumes in the series in that explanatory material and brief
essays accompany many of the articles.

Published between 1896 and 1910, George Brown's columns in the Yarmouth
Herald focused almost exclusively on New England families who migrated to
Nova Scotia around the time of the Revolutionary War, many of them descended
from Mayflower colonists. Brown's work had been badly neglected, owing to
the scarcity of the newspaper; however, Martha and Bill Reamy put together
as complete a collection of columns as possible, reset the type, and indexed
the entire collection. The 186 articles in this consolidated volume name as
many as 60,000 individuals.

Irish Emigration to New England Through the Port of Saint John, New

The Canadian port of Saint John, New Brunswick, was a magnet for Irish
emigration during the decade that culminated in the Great Famine. A majority
of these destitute Irish emigrants were required to take temporary refuge in
the alms and work houses, hospitals, and asylums of Saint John before
relocating to Boston or elsewhere in New England in order to rejoin their
families. Mr. Daniel F. Johnson has compiled this surrogate "passenger list"
of 7,000 persons of Irish birth from the records of alms houses, hospitals,
parish houses, etc. This is a major contribution to the literature of Irish
emigration to North America.

This impeccably prepared guidebook teaches us how to find ancestors on both
the Maine and New Brunswick sides of the Upper Saint John River Valley, a
region that ultimately became home to the indigenous Maliseets, Acadians,
French-Canadians, Irish, a few Scots, and a few (mostly English) Loyalists.
The extant records of the valley (found in both local and distant archives)
extend from 1792 to the 20th century, and, following his historical
introduction, Mr. George L. Findlen devotes the bulk of his narrative to an
inventory of them. Separate chapters are devoted to each of the following
record categories: church registers (probably the most valuable of all
records), vital records, marriages, cemetery records, censuses, land
records, will and probate documents, and newspapers, and to the various
record repositories themselves.

Author Denise Larson produced this book to honor the 400th anniversary of
the founding of Quebec City and to enable North Americans on both sides of
the border to appreciate more fully their French-Canadian heritage. Although
Champlain and his wife, Helene Boulle, did not have children, his companions
did. The original 18 pioneer families who inhabited Quebec during
Champlain's lifetime formed the nucleus of French-Canadian culture from
which a new society sprang. They are the focal point of this work. Other
important features include maps, an illustration of Champlain's 1603
astrolabe, references, five appendixes, lineage and pedigree charts with
citations, and a comprehensive index.

Our other new laminated research aid is Genealogy at a Glance: Cherokee
Genealogy Research, by Myra Vanderpool Gormley. A native Oklahoman of
Cherokee descent and a former syndicated genealogy columnist, Gormley is an
expert on Cherokee research. Her new publication provides an overview of
Cherokee history, including an explanation of "The Trail of Tears," the
forced removal in 1838/1839 of some 17,000 southeastern Cherokee to what is
now northeastern Oklahoma. Anyone researching Native American ancestry must
contend with the fact that their forebears will probably be found in
different records under different names--a Cherokee name and an English
name. Oftentimes, the name is unrecognizable as being Cherokee. Gormley
guides you through the challenges of Cherokee surnames as well
intermarriages, and the special relationship between Cherokee Freedmen and
former African-American slaves.

The most useful records in Cherokee research are, in fact, membership rolls,
which were designed to allocate reservation lands, provide annuities, and
pay compensation. Not all Cherokee are named in these rolls, because certain
individuals did not meet the specific requirements for enrollment, but
starting with the 1817 Reservation Roll, membership rolls are the best
documentary sources available, and this handy research guide identifies the
20 most important Cherokee rolls.

Like all the guides in this series, Genealogy at a Glance: Cherokee
Genealogy Research boils its subject down to the basics, yet is completely
up-to-date. This means you will find plenty of references to sources for
further reference and tips for taking shortcuts and avoiding brick walls in
your research. Finally, Gormley provides you with the links to all major
Cherokee websites in play at the present time. For more information about
